IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1200UTC Chart on 27 September 2016 Issued at 12:33 am EST Wednesday on 28 September 2016 A cold front is crossing the southwest of WA generating a large cloud band with embedded thunderstorm activity. A field of convective cellular cloud can be seen in the cold air behind the front. An upper level cloud band is streaming down from tropical convection over the Indian Ocean west of Java to central Australia and central Queensland. This cloud is brought along by the upper level subtropical jet stream. While a weak cold front is crossing Tasmania resulting in a band of low level cloud which extends down to a low over the Southern Ocean.
